compiling Maxima for Windows

I was able to build Maxima using Windows XP,  but never with Windows 7.  Nevertheless I'd encourage you to try
building using either SBCL or CCL.  I know next to nothing about the build process, so if it doesn't work, I'm just
plain stuck. Last I tried (using CCL), make finishes OK, but make install quits with

      1 [main] sh 5364 child_info_fork::abort: can't commit memory for stack 0x2
89000(94208), Win32 error 487
/bin/sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
